BOSTON — A Boston firefighter is mending from what could have been deadly stab wounds he suffered early yesterday morning when he was allegedly jumped in East Boston while off duty by a group of Hispanic males who told him they "don't want any gringo here."

Though police are not classifying the incident as racially fueled, the Boston Police Department's Community Disorders Unit is investigating. The 32-year-old jake, whose name officials were not releasing, is white.

Ironically, the firefighter's life was likely saved because he sought refuge from his alleged assailants at Engine 5 on Saratoga Street - the station house he's assigned to.

There won’t be a peep from the firefighters unions about this. They have their priorities straight—electing Democrats.

I think their server is overwhelmed! Tried to open from here, from Drudge, from Dogpile, with no luck!

Of course it’s not racist. The victim was white. White people are evil, racist oppressors and no minority is even capable of being racist. “Gringo” is merely a term of endearment.

Once white people are eradicated from this earth there will be no more racism, anywhere, ever.

Hate crime.

Let them try that in my hood. My firefighter friends all carry, and are expert shots.

I think George Orwell would be disappointed that we ended up here in spite of his warning.
